F.C. Como Women Begins Partnership with Firstbeat Sports

F.C. Como Women is proud to announce the start of its partnership with Firstbeat, a company specializing in the analysis of physiological data applied to sports performance, training load, and athlete recovery. The partnership will accompany the Club for the next three seasons, starting with the 2026/27 season.

Through Firstbeat Sports technology, their staff will be able to monitor and analyse the physiological response of our players during training sessions and matches, integrating data on internal load, intensity, Training Effect, and recovery.

This system will allow the club to gain an increasingly precise and individual understanding of their athletes’ needs, supporting our staff in personalising training loads, managing recovery, and making day-to-day performance-related decisions.

A statement from the Club’s Performance Department said: “We are delighted to be able to rely on a monitoring system of this level, which will allow us to obtain precise feedback on the internal physiological response of our athletes. We have a clear understanding of the training load we administer on a daily basis, but we felt the need to gain an even more detailed understanding of how each athlete individually responds to these stimuli. Firstbeat will give us the opportunity to do so, adding a crucial piece of information to our performance monitoring and management process.”

This partnership represents another important step in F.C. Como Women’s journey towards an increasingly data-driven approach to team preparation and management.

F.C. Como Women è orgogliosa di annunciare l’inizio della partnership con Firstbeat, realtà specializzata nell’analisi dei dati fisiologici applicati alla performance sportiva, al carico di allenamento e al recupero degli atleti. La partnership accompagnerà il Club per le prossime tre stagioni, a partire dalla stagione 2026/27.

Attraverso la tecnologia Firstbeat Sports, il nostro staff potrà monitorare e analizzare la risposta fisiologica delle calciatrici durante allenamenti e partite, integrando dati relativi a carico interno, intensità, Training Effect e recupero.

Un sistema che ci permetterà di avere una lettura sempre più precisa e individuale delle esigenze delle nostre atlete, supportando lo staff nella personalizzazione dei carichi di lavoro, nella gestione del recupero e nelle scelte quotidiane legate alla performance.

Le dichiarazioni dell’Area Performance del Club: “Siamo felici di poter contare su un sistema di monitoraggio di questo livello, che ci permetterà di ottenere un riscontro preciso sulla risposta fisiologica interna delle nostre atlete. Conosciamo bene il carico di allenamento che somministriamo quotidianamente, ma sentivamo la necessità di comprendere ancora più nel dettaglio come ogni atleta risponde individualmente a questi stimoli. Firstbeat ci darà la possibilità di farlo, aggiungendo un’informazione fondamentale al nostro processo di monitoraggio e gestione della performance.”

Questa partnership rappresenta un ulteriore passo nel percorso del F.C. Como Women verso un approccio sempre più data-driven alla preparazione e alla gestione della squadra.
